Hemmorhoids-A Basic Overview

Hemmorhoids can be one of the most irritating and sometimes painful problems people will face in their lifetime. They are also referred to as "disgusting". Yes, they can be disgusting to deal with, but if you have them then they are still a problem in need of being dealt with. Here is a basic overview of hemmorhoids.

Hemmorhoids are really just blood vessels. There is more to it than just that though. Hemmorhoids are blood vessels that usually become swollen. They become swollen because these blood vessels are around the anus region and your lower rectum and they will stretch because of pressure to the region. When this happens, you have produced a hemmorhoid. People increase this pressure and swelling usually from straining when they are trying to release a bowel movement. Some of the other biggest factors in getting hemmorhoids are pregnancy, inheritance through heredity, aging, and constipation. You can usually have hemmorhoids one of two ways-internal or external. Internal hemmorhoids are located within the anus whereas external hemmorhoids come from the skin around the anus.

If you ever think that you may have a hemmorhoid you will need to make sure. There are a variety of other things that can be mistaken for a hemmorhoid. Some of these are fissures, fistulae, and/or abscesses. These tend to cause a lot of itching and irritation and therefore can be mistaken for a hemmorhoid.

Although countless numbers of people may experience a hemmorhoid, not all will experience symptoms. Here are a few noticeable symptoms of a hemmorhoid:

1. Bright red blood covering the stool. You could also see this blood on toilet paper. This is mainly a symptom of an internal hemmorhoid. It is noted though that an internal hemmorhoid can begin to protrude through the anus region towards the outside of the body. It will then become very irritating and painful. You can also refer to this type as a protruding hemmorhoid.

2. Symptoms of external hemmorhoids may include painful swelling or a hard lump around the anus that results when a blood clot forms. This condition is known as a thrombosed external hemmorhoid.

Those are just a couple of symptoms associated with the different types of hemmorhoids. You can also produce symptoms by excessive straining, scratching or rubbing the anus or around it. This can cause irritation that could set of a chain of events that would bring symptoms of developing a hemmorhoid.

It is not uncommon for people to get hemmorhoids. It is said that around half of the population will get a hemmorhoid by age 50. Women becoming pregnant are a higher target for getting hemmorhoids. What happens here is the fetus is the abdomen causing pressure. This along with hormonal changes can cause the hemmorhoid vessels to get bigger. These vessels are exposed to extremely high pressure during the birth. Most of the hemmorhoids forming during a pregnancy are said to be very temporary problems.

"I thought hemoroids were old people's dissese, but I'm 19 and I got one. the pain was extreme, I couldn't go to school. I was embarrased to talk to anyone about it, but thanks God the internat is anonymous. I got calmovil and my hemeroid got small only after 3 pills. after that painful experience i can appreciate everyday life better now. Thank you soooo much, it really worked!" Denise, New Jersey

Well, now that you know what hemmorhoids are and what the symptoms can be it is now time to cover how to treat them. If you ever do develop a hemmorhoid you probably should see a doctor. If not though here are some medical treatments aimed at relieving the symptoms:

Warm tub or sitz baths several times a day in plain, warm water for about 10 minutes. This will help soothe the irritated region. It can be a bit painful when first getting into the bath.

Ice packs to help reduce swelling. This is just a pretty common approach to any type of swelling.

Application of a hemmorhoid cream or suppository to the affected area for a limited time.

Prevention of the recurrence of hemmorhoids is aimed at changing conditions associated with the pressure and straining of constipation. A lot of doctors will recommend that you increase the amount of fiber that you intake. This will help you have softer stools. Proper fluids will also come highly recommended. When you have a softer stool, you are able to empty your bowels a lot easier and with less strain. Reducing the straining is your best chance of reducing the risk of getting a protruding hemmorhoid.

Now if the above does not work, then you should not waste any time to seeing if you will need surgical treatment. Surgical treatments are widely used to shrink and eliminate the hemmorhoidal tissue. But do not worry because the doctors normally give anesthesia. There are a number of treatments use including: rubber band litigation, Sclerotherapy, electric or laser heat, and hemmorhoidectomy. Knowing which treatment is for you will vary depending on what type of hemmorhoid you have and the symptoms showing for it.
